Infusion Pumps

An infusion pump is a medical device used to deliver fluids, such as nutrients and medications, into a patient's body in controlled amounts. These pumps are commonly used in hospitals, nursing homes, and even at home for patients who require long-term care. Infusion pumps can deliver fluids intravenously (into a vein), subcutaneously (under the skin), or epidurally (into the space around the spinal cord). They are highly precise and can be programmed to deliver fluids at specific rates and times, ensuring that patients receive the correct dosage. There are different types of infusion pumps, including: Volumetric pumps: Deliver a set volume of fluid over a specified time. Syringe pumps: Use a syringe to deliver small, precise amounts of fluid. Ambulatory pumps: Portable pumps that allow patients to move around while receiving treatment. Infusion pumps are essential in various medical treatments, including chemotherapy, pain management, and hydration therapy. They help healthcare professionals provide accurate and consistent care to patients.
